Nero is deeply in need of a bit of courage, but when an anomalous new friend offers guidance and training, Nero risks losing his mind.
New Lur is the rubble of a once-great city handed down to the humans by the technologically superior Erohsian race. This ramshackle town is also the home and playground for the imagination of five carefree orphans. Well, four anyway. Nero endures irrational fear and night-terrors while struggling to forge a bond with his happy-go-lucky foster siblings. One day their veil of obscurity is torn when they find five canisters containing Aether weapons engineered by the rebel group, Catalyst. Several of the children unknowingly risk life and sanity by bonding with the essences within, thrilled to discover new powers. In an attempt to be like the other children, Nero tries to bond with an essence, but is overwhelmed by its will to exist. When he comes to, the essence is gone, yet something is different... something new is present. Before he can ponder the consequences, the children discover the Erohsians descending on their town, looking for the weapons. With their home ransacked and their foster mom missing, the children must flee New Lur and cope with the tensions of an escalating race war. Along the way, they meet tricksters, slavers, a woman of uncommon abilities, and their champion, Sosimo. Through all, they must bond as a true family if they are to survive their next encounter with the Erohsians. One constant remains; Nero's nurturing yet treacherous friend from the canister.

Catalyst. part 2
Heroes aren't born, they are made... as are villains. Several years have passed since the kids joined the rebel group Catalyst. As their training advances, they begin to contribute to the fight for equality. If the Erhosians were their only problem, life would be simple. Unfortunately, reality is far from kind. Catalyst has a traitor and Iona is determined to find out who they are to protect what she now calls home. Nero on the other hand is dealing with more immediate problems that are way over his head. He is slowly losing his friend, and the length he will go to save them may come with permanent consequences. Meanwhile, Isis' patience with the human terrorists is rapidly dwindling. Her hard won mole is acting elusive, but that is a small hiccup in her plan to crush the insurgency once and for all. Unfortunately, world troubles are brewing and Isis' brutal efficiency might be the only thing slowing a force that has long stayed in the background. Like an avalanche, some things cannot be stopped; only endured. The Havityns are stirring and people will die. *Let me know if you have thoughts on the summary. * Please let me know if you have any comments on the story. This one should be one hell of a ride.

𝐅𝐨𝐫𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐌𝐲 𝐀𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐥 ★ Gray Fullbuster X OC
Gildarts found an orphaned girl, whom he's sure he's met before but can't recall when, and decides to bring her to the guild. Unaware that that very human being would change everything. Including Gray Fullbuster's heart. ***** Alexa pulled away. "That doesn't make any sense." "Neither does this." Gray said. "But I don't care. I'm sick of trying to pretend I can live without you. Don't you understand that? Can't you see it's killing me?" She stared at him. She could see he meant what he said, could see it in his eyes she knew as well as her own, in the brushed shadows under those eyes, the pulse pounding in his throat. Her desire for answers battle the more primal part of her brain, and lost. "Kiss me then." She whispered, and he pressed his mouth against hers, their hearts slamming together through the thin layers of wet fabric that divided them. And she was drowning in it, the sensation of him kissing her; of rain everywhere, running off her eyelashes; of letting his hands slide freely over the wet, crumpled fabric of her dress, made thin and clinging by the rain. It was almost like having his hands on her bare skin, her chest, her hips, her stomach; when he reached the hem of her dress, he gripped her legs, pressing her harder against the wall while she wrapped them around his waist. ***** Writing is pretty crap in the first few chapters, but I swear my vocabulary improved later on, so please bear with it! I promise you'll love the story! <3Complete![Frozen Heart [A Gruvia Fanfiction]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/78126789-256-k50179.jpg)

Crystal, Ice and Fire ✔
(A FAIRY TAIL FANFICTION) Nothing changes the fact that Fairy Tail has the best wizards, right? Wrong. Because they betrayed me. My dear friends and mentors. Family? Friends? Comrades? What's that? They don't exist in my eyes anymore. We used to be happy. It didn't start off well, but when you found me, it was amazing. I was happier than I had ever been. But all that was destroyed when you left me and went over to them. I still had Natsu, Gray, Erza, Happy and the rest. But you both were gone. How were we supposed to fight now? Was there even a point anymore? I even sympathized with our enemies. It was the betrayal I couldn't get over. #1 in fire magic ( 07/01/20) #1 in crystal magic (12/21/19) **BOOK EXTRACT?** 'What do we do if something happens?' Gray asked, 'If the thieves enter our house?' 'You signal us immediately,' Erza said. 'You will not face them alone, no matter how weak or strong they are. Got it, Gray, Natsu?' They nodded hastily. 'Erza,' I said. 'That applies to you too, you know.' Erza turned to me. Gray and Natsu were shaking their heads vigorously as if trying to warn me. I gave them a death glare in return and looked at Erza. She sighed. 'You're right,' she said. Gray and Natsu looked at her like she suddenly sprouted wings and was singing "I'm a happy Neko-chan!" Well, it wasn't entirely impossible, since she could fly in some of her armours, but the singing was an entirely different story. 'Right,' I said. 'But what will be our signal?' We all thought about that, even Happy. Then finally, Dragneel bust out, 'Well, what's our magic for?!' We all stared at him. Then I sighed. 'As much as I hate to admit it,' I said. 'He's right.' Dragneel nodded eagerly. 'I'll blow fire,' he said. 'I'll....' Gray paused. 'Make snowfall?' I gave him a disgusted look.Complete
